The modern process for isolating metallic aluminum from its ore was discovered in 1886, and metallic aluminum became common and mass-produced...
So today I got an envelope in the mail. Actually I got two envelopes in the mail... but one of them is from a member here, who also loves Seated...
Prices seem too high on both. The 1795 half is very crudely plugged. 1795 Flowing Hair halves, although highly in demand and valuable as a result,...
Nice finds. I have yet to find one of these in a world coin bin however I live on the West Coast where these never circulated. These are quite...
Doubt it would straight grade, but any 1878 8TF Morgan is worth more than "junk" prices. Nothing wrong with just keeping it in a flip and enjoying...
Yup... my LCS I think charges $10 each for 90% halves, so on the Walkers alone you came out ahead. Incredible buy! Any better dates in the...
I haven't been to my LCS for a while but I believe they ask somewhere between $27 and $29 American for random Peace dollars. You paid $1.50 US...
So a while back I was scrolling through Ebay listings and noticed a peculiar auction. Two Seated Half Dollars with a starting price of $25, and...
"Cement reinforced sterling" refers to weighted sterling. Essentially, the item is made of cement covered in a layer of silver. This is not solid...
There it is... overstrike that took place outside of the Mint with the undertype being presumably a genuine IHC. I guessed double strike -...
Close but no cigar for FB, that nick on the left side of the bands precludes it and it doesn’t look like the center is quite fully separated....
Actually on #5 - a 0.63% crustal abundance is very high! Titanium is the ninth most common element in the Earth’s crust. Compare to silver...
Yup. Also that 1924 is much better than junk and would be a wonderful album coin. Lots of silver condition rarities in this time period. People...
Can you please take that 1918-S Mercury Dime in the top right and take pictures of that one individually? Preliminary assumption from these...
Lemme guess... cost you $12 off a blurry pic Ebay auction :p Lovely cent though. That's about the eventual "target" for my 1910-S to 1915-S...
I view it this way: Double struck = two strikes on a planchet from the same die Overstrike = two strikes on a planchet from two different dies,...
Combined melt on the silver is $38.36. The Franklin is real nice, you got an impaired proof, and a nice Japanese 50 Sen. I'd say you did well....
The section of the coin shown looks fairly consistent with a double strike, rotated in collar to me. Patiently awaiting the reveal!
That's the impression I get but hey, it could just be the pictures. Either way, if they do end up with a "cleaned" details grade it's a great...
I have a 22-S Peace with similar obverse toning... exceptional rainbow toning around 12:00, but the rest of the obverse is splotchy/speckled....
